People with collapsed arches (flat feet or pes planus) have biomechanical changes to their body. They experience feet pain such as plantar fasciitis or ankle pain. Since the feet collapse and rotates their foot inwards, it causes changes to the knees and they have pain on the insides. Further changes to the knees results in hip rotation and pain at the hip. Hip rotation causes rotation to the lumbar spine, and pain in the low back. Lumbar rotation travels up to affect the thoracic and cervical region, causing pain in the shoulders and neck.
